Nj. John M. Cook, civil engineer, of ITALIA
hassee, returned Saturday from tour of inspec-
ton on the proposed route Of the Townsville,
Tallahassee and Gulf Railroad Being authorized
by Northern capitalists, Mr. Cook made q thor
ough investigation of the practicability OF the
route, the resources of the adjacent country and
the articles of transportation now ready and yet
to be produced in the section between ITALIA
hassee and the Gulf Mr.. Cooks report is favor
able 10 the profitable outlook for immediate
business when the road Is constructed. and he il
satisfied that the large timber interests alone
would give ample business for q railroad. but in
addition 10 this the phosphate deposits along
the route are exceedingly valuable and will
be prepared for shipment at once The
trade with Apalachicola and other Gulf
cities il exceedingly remunerativs, and
arrangements are now being made to have
o line Of steamers from Carrabelle to Apalachi-
the steamers from New Orleans to Havana
might touch there, and the quick and cheap
means Of communication and transportation
with New Orleans and Cuba thus afforded this
section would prove OF immense benefit The
fertile portions OF the country between Tallahas-
see and the Gulf will be highly improved, the
dsh and sponge trade will be revived and stimu-
lated, and the material interests Of the people
along the entire route will be advanced. The
indications are that this road will be con-
strucsed and put in operation within twelve
months ct fdrthest. The connection with Thorn.
asville will probably be completed by that time,
and direct line will be established from the
Georgia system Of roads to tho Gulf coast, thence
TO the West via New Orleans. and TO Havana
and Key West All these indications point to
the future prosperity Of Tallahassee.

"This shows deficit of $50 900 n 1887

Trustees County Bona
TALLAHAssKB, July l, 1887
Four years ago the debt of Leon county was
81, 900, on which she was paying per cent. or
$3.50 year. The County Commissioners sub
mitted to the people of the county proposition
to issue new bonds, bearing per cent. interest,
The measure was carried by large majority,
the new bonds were readily sold at and above
par, and the old bonds taken up.
The annual reduction of the debt for the past
four years has been $5s75, and there is balance
of $467 .06 in the sinking fund for the redemption
of bonds.
The total reduction of the bonded debt of the
county is $23, 800 the interest is paid promptly,
and the interest for the current year is $2.S5o s
against s., $50 in 1882 and the debt has been d.
minished by more than one-third with good
balance on hand.
At this rate Leon county will be out Of debt
in few years. Leon county is now run on
cash basis, and it is reasonable to assume thai
she will remain so, at least while her affairs are
managed by those who are now managing them
in fact, 80 long as our finances are in the con-
troll OF business men-honorabe men.

South will have a larger cotton crop
this year than it has ever harvested
thus far. There is q promise, indeed,
that 100000 bales will be gathered,
which is nearly twi;e as large as the
heaviest yield in any year In the old
slave labor period. The largest crop
ever yet harvested was in 1885,
ss2.934 bales. Last year the pro.
duction was 100000. bales. The
value of the crop this year will prob
